If there was any reason to believe that
Mr., Minear or any other member Of the
State Senate had been bribed, or that an
attempt had been made to bribe, the
Senate had but one duty in the premises,
and that vas to investigate. A charge
having besn made against Senator Minear,
for go everybody understood it, 1t was
shameful to refuse him chance to meet

THE Republicans in tho Legislature
stood splondidly to their guns. There was
time when COMO Of them-and enough
o! o!them-had concluded that it WAS good
policy to go to Mr.. Camden and elect him.
Ths ISrELLlaEScER's publication OF this
intention awoke the folks at home and
they raiaed their voices in protest. That
checked the movement. The forces have
vaverea since, but they rallied as often as
thsy savsred, and now they have come
out with flying colors. The three Repub'
llcaz votes which Mr.. Camden received
did not seriously impair tho main line oi
battle. T- W firf s.s
The IErELLIGENcER is AWARD that there
Sero two nides to the question, and
it does not impugn the motives Of the
three Republicans who exercised their
ovn judgment and voted for Mr.. Camden.
But the great body OF Republicans pur'
sued the safe course, and their action is
endorsed by the overwhelming majority
Of Wss. Virginia Republicans. The e.ec'
tioa Of Mr.. Camden by Republican votes
would hsve put the Republican party on
tho defensive, and it would have donor

would have been greater than any pcaai'
